Point Zero One

America invites terror to dinner.

Food safety inspector Aaron Markson encounters a city bus filled with passengers is out of control on a Los Angeles freeway. The bus runs over a motorcyclist and continues wreaking havoc in traffic.  Pulling cautiously alongside to investigate he dials 911 and is put on hold left to contend with the developing situation without assistance. After convincing a passenger to take the wheel and pull aside to safety he discovers the bus driver has fallen into unconsciousness while driving. The unavailability of overwhelmed emergency services leads him to drive the victim to the hospital in his own vehicle. Victims fill the unprepared emergency room.

Summoned to an impromptu meeting at a makeshift FDA substation Markson discovers the United States is under attack.

Pandemonium ensues as media-frenzied citizens begin to hoard food. Public tension levels rise to an unprecedented level. Escalating home invasions impose increasing terror as citizens defend against riot-brazened thieves, and one another.

Markson’s fiancé, doctor Jan Michaels contracts deliberately implemented botulism. Hospitalized, she awakens from a coma to find limited use of her hands, prolonging her terror with lingering symptoms.

Unable to identify a culprit, Americans become increasingly suspicious of one another as a nameless, faceless enemy using an invisible army continues poisoning citizens. Terrorists target legislative loopholes.

After eleven hundred food poisonings reported from one event at the ballpark, FDA agents Aaron Markson and Larry Haggerty discover intelligently planted poison at Dodger Stadium that could easily be duplicated throughout the massive city, and beyond.

At a hearing in Sacramento, Markson presents potential resolutions before an apprehensive California Congress. Using testimony of victims and examples based upon evidence of findings and experience through specific situations, he emphasizes the significant consequences of inappropriately modified laws primarily written in 1906.
